humpback images

[Chris Bangs]

Magnificent! Whales are one of my favorite animals...next to my dog Those pictures are excellent and I must admit I am very jealous at your proximity to them. I had the pleasure of hearing whales sing earlier this month in Kauaii and it was a treat.

The Humpback images were shot at the Silver Bank off the Dominician Republic. I worked with Wyland in 2004 and 2005 doing this project. here is a shot of Wyland and the Whale. very low quality due to copyright protection

Nope! from Hawaii only Continental! and they will stick it to you! Due to the outragous air fare contential slaps on us, I book all my traveling in Japan and fly out via Tokyo at less than 1/2 the cost. and guess what! I still fly on Contential.

Anyway, come on over! best bet is to do a stopover on you way to Palau or Yap. get here and I will take care of you. Guaranteed Wire coral Gobies! Whales! well I wish they were predictable!
